She fought to the finish aboard her SLM - painted in the colors of the Danish flag- crossed the line 44 seconds ahead of Norway’s Gunn-Rita Dahle Flesjaa, and rightfully claimed her spot at the top of the podium for the 2nd year in a row.

“This race and victory is more than I ever dreamt about and thought possible. To be able to make such a comeback…Going through so much frustration, despair, and disappointment really got outweighed this Sunday,” said Langvad.

She added, “I rode my Fuji 26″ hardtail, which I was supposed to ride for the Olympic Games. Grabbing a world champion title with it instead is awesome compensation.”
